Odaily Planet Daily News Colombian President Gustavo Petro reportedly accepted over 500,000 dollars in digital tokens from a fraudulent cryptocurrency project to fund his 2022 election campaign, according to local media reports. The Colombian cryptocurrency project Daily COP illegally donated 2 billion Colombian pesos in 2022 to Petro's campaign, equivalent to 514,036 dollars in cryptocurrency, former contractor Omar Hernández said on Caracol Radio on Wednesday. According to Hernández, the donation was discussed during a meeting at a bakery in Bogotá in February 2022 between Sebastián Betancourt, co-founder of Daily COP, and Ricardo Roa, Petro's campaign manager at the time, where they also discussed the advantages of cryptocurrency as an alternative to the traditional banking system.
